The novels Manette Salomon and Germinie Lacerteux by the Goncourt brothers are the two yellow books on the table in one version of this painting. This work's artist described the subject's clothes as "ultramarine" because it "brings out the face and makes it paler" and the artist also claimed it contained the "heartbroken expression of our time." Likely based on Delacroix's Tasso in Prison, the version of this work in the Musee d'Orsay shows the subject with a face of sunburned hue and holding purple (*) foxgloves in his hand. The artist commented on how its subject's melancholy expression "might well seem like a grimace," and both versions of this work show the subject resting his head on his right arm. For 10 points, name this 1890 work potrait created at Auvers-sur-Oise, a depiction of a physician by Vincent van Gogh.
